A great Boipuso, except for the trucks :: Mmegi Online

Except for a bus crash that claimed five lives along the S/Phikwe-Serule Road near the village of Damchujenaa, the recent independence celebrations passed almost without incident. Details of the bus accident are still sketchy since police investigations are at an early stage and it could be a while before the cause is established.

Without suggesting any familiarity with the occult or transcendental powers, those who perished in the accident may never know what happened on what became an ill-starred day for them while those who sustained serious injuries will have to live with their pain or disability.

The little that is known about the accident is that it involved the bus and a truck. Which brings us to ask what is the trouble with trucks and why authorities do not seem to take notice? Just two months ago, several people were killed in Kumakwane in an accident involving a bus and a truck.
